I loaned
princess_jules the entire Fruits Basket manga series (to date). This makes me squee. I'm kind of an enabler at times: I love to share stuff I love. Yeah, I kind of miss having the manga at home, but I'm sooooo super bouncy right now because she's enjoying reading the series

I finished with the first 11 - when's the 12th coming out? I'm having withdrawl already, and I want to know the end of the story! (It is the end, right?) I downloaded a bunch of wallpapers today.
Soon, I'm sure, I'll be making icons!

Issue 12 is coming out in December. T_T I wish it was coming out sooner. Fruits Basket has a way of making me want to read the next issue IMMEDIATELY. I don't know if it will be the last issue or not. Most manga I've browsed in the store seems to go to 14 or 15 issues, plus I figured we'd see a cover for each member of the Zodiac, so I figure they'll be a couple more.
Of course now I'm feeling a little bad about loaning the books to you, because it means you have to deal with waiting, too. But I'm so very glad you got to read them, because they are so, so good.

December? Oh dear, that's rather far away! I was hoping it would be in the next couple of weeks so I could include it with the first 11 when I sent them back. :) If you can stand to wait an extra day or two after the release, perhaps you'll let me send you #12 anyway?

...just kidding. :D That would be lovely. I normally don't get them the day they come out anyway. Usually what happens is I get in the mood to go to the bookstore and I discover the next one's been released, and there is much squeeing.
According to Tokyopop's page, issue 12 is coming out on 12.13.05. That's soooooooooo loooooooooong. Hopefully 13 won't be long after that--they'd been releasing about one every two months, but for some reason there was a huge delay between 11 and 12.
Tokyopop is saying there will be 16 issues, which I kind of expected. So that's Tohru + the 13 Zodiac characters + Akito + a last cover, which I'm guessing will be Tohru again, but maybe with Kyo & Yuki, too.
Did you read the sidebars in the manga? In one of the early ones Natsuki Takaya wonders how fans shorten the title, and that's where the "furuba" comes from. Maybe you're right in that they dropped the "u" for the English, but it still rankles me.

Yes, I read most of the sidebars, and I saw the "furuba" one. I'm always going to use that if I shorten it, because "fruba" just looks ugly to me.
Reading those really made me want to go back through my Japanese textbooks - too bad I'm not sure which box they're in! We'll get the bookshelves up soon, though, I hope, so I can unpack all the books and maybe try learning again. I was really peeved with myself for not being able to read even the katakana. >:-O

Are you excited for Goblet of Fire, then? I know I am! I loved the PoA movie, much more than the first two, myself.
